Its history dates back to the Middle Ages, when it was already appreciated by monks for its generous wines. With its gray skin and golden wines, it plays the contrast card. Once known as the "Tokay of Alsace", it is now a staple of the Coteaux d'Ancenis. This grape variety, as changeable as the moods of the Loire, produces rich and opulent wines, perfect for pairing with a hearty autumn dish.
